Clearly, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The ST600 with its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will result in extra detail with its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older ST600 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
